Idan ana maganar kayayyakin tsaftacewa masu kyau ga muhalli ga gida, abubuwan farko da ke zuwa a zuciya sune farin vinegar da baking soda. Amma ba mu takaita ga waɗannan biyun kawai ba; a gaskiya ma, akwai wasu kayayyakin tsaftacewa masu kyau ga muhalli waɗanda ke da amfani iri-iri a gida kuma a wasu lokutan ma suna aiki mafi kyau.
Wannan maganin tsaftace gida mai kore da ake kira "citric acid" zai iya sa ka ɗan damu da farko. Amma sanannen mai tsaftace gida ne wanda ya daɗe yana wanzuwa tsawon ƙarni - wanda aka fara cire shi daga ruwan lemun tsami a ƙarshen shekarun 1700. To ta yaya citric acid ke tsaftace gida? Mun tattara hanyoyi bakwai na tsaftace gida don taimaka maka ka sami mafi kyawun amfani da shi.
Kafin mu zurfafa cikin amfani da citric acid, ya kamata mu fara fahimtar menene shi. Wannan foda, wanda aka samo daga 'ya'yan itacen citrus, yana da irin abubuwan tsaftacewa iri ɗaya da citric acid na yau da kullun, amma tare da ƙarin inganci. Yana da acidic, wanda ke sauƙaƙa cire lemun tsami, kuma yana da tasirin bleaching. A zahiri, sau da yawa ana ba da shawarar shi azaman madadin farin vinegar da aka tace.
Akwai bambance-bambance tsakanin su biyun, duk da haka. Dr. Joanna Buckley, mai kula da ilimi a Royal Society of Chemistry, ta ce: "Citric acid da vinegar dukkansu sinadarai ne masu aiki a cikin masu tsaftace gida da yawa, kuma duka suna da tasiri. Vinegar yana da pH tsakanin 2 da 3, wanda hakan ya sa ya zama acid mai ƙarfi - ƙasa da pH, haka nan yake da acid. Citric acid (kamar wanda ake samu a cikin 'ya'yan itacen citrus) yana da pH mafi girma kaɗan, don haka yana da ɗan ƙarancin acid. Sakamakon haka, yana da ɗan ƙarancin haɗarin lalata saman da ke da laushi, kuma yana da ƙarin fa'ida na barin gidanka yana wari sabo, maimakon kamar shagon kifi da guntu!"
Duk da haka, citric acid har yanzu abu ne mai kauri, don haka bai dace da dukkan saman ba. Kamar yadda akwai wurare 7 da bai kamata a taɓa tsaftace su da vinegar ba, citric acid bai dace da dutse na halitta ba, benaye na katako da saman. Aluminum kuma bai dace ba.
Baya ga tsaftace gida, ana iya amfani da citric acid wajen girki, a matsayin kayan ƙanshi, da kuma adana abinci. Duk da haka, koyaushe a tabbatar da cewa alamar da ka zaɓa ta dace da girki. Dri-Pak sanannen kamfani ne, amma wannan marufi ba "abinci mai aminci ba ne," don haka ya kamata a yi amfani da shi don tsaftacewa kawai.
Duk da cewa citric acid yana da aminci a yi amfani da shi, ana ba da shawarar a sanya safar hannu lokacin tsaftacewa da shi don kare fatar jikinka. Bugu da ƙari, ya kamata ka sanya gilashin kariya da abin rufe fuska don hana shaƙar citric acid.
Kamar farin vinegar da aka tace, za ka iya narkar da sinadarin citric acid don tsaftace saman. Kawai ka haɗa cokali 2.5 na citric acid da 500 ml na ruwan ɗumi a cikin kwalbar feshi mara komai, ka girgiza sosai, sannan ka yi amfani da cakuda da aka samu don fesa benen laminate, saman tebur na filastik da ƙarfe a duk faɗin gidanka.

Vinegar sanannen abu ne da ke rage zafi, amma citric acid yana da tasiri. Da farko, a cika tukunyar da ruwa a tsakiyarta sannan a kunna wuta. A kashe wutar kafin ruwan ya tafasa; manufar ita ce a ci gaba da dumama ruwan.
Cire wutar lantarki, a hankali a zuba cokali biyu na citric acid a cikin hadin sannan a bar shi na tsawon mintuna 15-20 kafin ya yi aiki (tabbatar da barin bayanin kula don kada kowa ya yi amfani da shi a wannan lokacin!).
